  			(intro) C F C F 

                                 Dm 
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, 
              C                   F         G 
for the break that will make it ok, 
                                  Dm 
there's always some reason to feel “not good enough”, 
              C               F               G 
and it's hard at the end of the day. 

                           Dm                     F 
     I need some distraction, oh beautiful release, 
       C             Am                 G 
    memories seep from my veins, 
                        Dm              F 
    and may be empty and weightless, and maybe 
          C                           G 
    I'll find some peace tonight. 

           C      F         C             Em 
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here, 
                 F                                              C                               G 
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear. 
                C                                                Em 
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie, 
                       F                                        C   G                          C 
you're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here. 

( F C F ) 
                              Dm 
    So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn, 
                  C                  F                     G 
    there's vultures and thieves at your back. 
                                      Dm 
    The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies, 
                     C               F                G 
    that you make up for all that you lack. 

                               Dm                 F 
    It don't make no difference, escaping one last time, 
           C         Am         G 
    it's easier          to believe 
                           Dm                        F 
     in this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness 
              C                          G 
    that brings me to my knees. 

           C      F         C             Em 
In the arms of the angel, fly away from here, 
                 F                                              C                               G 
from this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear. 
                C                                                Em 
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie, 
                       F                                        C   G                           C 
you're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here. 

                           F                                         C   G                           C 
    You're in the arms of the angel, may you fi….nd some comfort here.
